BMW E31 850I V12 KOENIG SPECIALS KS8.is it a classic?
Discussion
KOENIG SPECIALS unlike ALPINA never modified the vin numbers to there cars, infact very few records were kept.
BMW built the car in 1991.850i.£68.000
koenig sold the first owner the kit in 1995. DM 19.000
I have poor quality telex's from Koenig with cost to fit and paint the car,
But there are no invoices for this service. I can only assume that the kit was fitted at the delivery address. SUNDON PARK CAR SALES. LUTON BEDFORDSHIRE.
There is no mention of the wheels (FAGIX) 12j rear with 335/40/17 tyres +front 9j 265/45/17. When I first made contact with Walter Koenig, 1 year ago, He instantly recognised the rims. so either over the years documents have been lost or the wheels obtained elcewhere. the motor is unmodified,but the limiter has been removed.
One telex has a quote for a Koenig Specials sport exhaust (this was fitted) and a 12% better excelorating diff (?)
The previous owner (I am number 3) tells me that there are only 3 right hand drive KS8's in the world. 1 in Japan.1 in New Zealand. Koenig can not confirm this.
Koenig have happily issued a Letter Of Authenticity for my car but the history is rather patchy.
Getting back the is it a classic question. How do I get a agreed value, classic insurance quote?
